La Gourmandine

I stopped by La Gourmandine with my wife this weekend after hearing great things from my family and friends. It definitely lived up to the hype. Perfectly flaky croissants and elegant pastries. I visited this restaurant at around 1pm on a Saturday and it wasnt very busy. I hope to come back soon.

Very cute bakery but I think I just need to come on a day when I know the prepared items are fresh. The croissants look to die for but I got the pistachio eclair and it was flavor wise amazing but it had the texture that it had been sitting in the fridge for a while. So I’ll definitely go back and make sure it’s fresh but besides that it was very good.

What an excellent place to get delicious pastries. Especially French pastries. I thought the prices would probably be quite excessive, but this isn’t the case. Quite reasonable actually. I got to try out their clafoutis, abricotine (apricot pastry), and chouquettes. All 3 were very good. The clafoutis was wasn’t exactly like a pudding that I imagined. It was a lot more firm. Still, it was quite tasty and not too eggy. I loved the touch of cherries in there. Good portion for the price too. The chouquettes were a very lovely little pastry. Nice little snack and very cheap, but they are also very small. Plenty of sugar beads surrounding the patty, and the inside is a great firm texture as well. But buttery inside. The apricot was my favorite. It was somewhat like a danish with an apricot in the middle, but also somewhat like an apricot croissant. You have to try one of these out. Not too sweet. Goes very well with morning coffee. Buttery pastry. Nice! All in all, a very nice bakery in Lawrenceville. I’d love to come back and try out more items, but everything I had was great!

AhMAZing!!!! Sooo delicious and fresh. I’m glad I’m only in the area visiting cause I’d be a frequent flyer here! Definitely recommend!!

No sits available, but the breads were good as a dessert! Staff were friendly and professional!

Love this place, is a must go for anyone visiting pittsburg. Everything is delicious. Wish I took more photos before I ate everything else Wish they opened in GA bc I have to drive 11 hours for this stuff

Love this place. Food is amazing. Today we got a chocolate croissant and ham and Swiss croissant. I’ve been here several times every time everything amazing. Very small bakery very well staffed. Staff very friendly and welcoming. Top quality stuff here .

I have been to France and this is the closest bakery in the Pittsburgh area to the taste of France! The store was clean, the staff was friendly, and the pasties were outstanding! The prices were very reasonable. My family's new favorite weekend treat spot.
